Atlus bought by SEGA

[Hyro-Sama]

Can't say I'm beary excited about this. We'll see though. As long as Atlus doesn't start churning out iOS ports like Square-Enix and their games continue to be localised, it's all good.

DOOMED... wait, haven't I heard this before?

iD Software?

And not do what Capcom did to Breath of Fire VI and make a weeaboo chibi RPG for mobile and PC only.

O, not in cruelty, not in wrath,
The Sega Reaper came that day;
'T was an angel visited the SMT earth,
And took Jack Frost away.


Also it's not sega sammy that bought them either, sega sammy made a new subsidiary or something called Sega Dream Corporation. Functioning on the same level as sega.

Let's hope the games from Atlus don't suck and actually get localized.

Sega also hates tasking risks on localizations.
Best example being Valkyria Chronicles 3. A guaranteed success at the time. All because VC2 (a much lesser title in all aspects) didn't do so well.
They fail at business.

Considering how niche most Atlus titles are, we probably wont see anything outside of the big, main titles like Persona or established series.

To be fair if VC2 didn't sell well localized and the PSP was already far past dead outside of Japan, what's the point of bringing the next title?

Looks like Sonic has a mouth guard

 

[The Catboy]

Because Sega was doing so good on their own .-.

It is far from unheard of for established companies to buy out innovative companies to add them to their stable.

now, we need to see: Sonic X Shin megami tensei !!

 

[Gahars]

I hope Nintendo buys Capcom.

Please. Everyone knows that Sega does what Nintendon't... or won't.

 

[calmwaters]

Did they stop making games?

Well ones that were good. Maybe they'll start making games with Atlus again as well as letting them do their own thing. That sounds great.

Sonic x SMT

GameWinner quoted a post in the SB about them having interest in using ATLUS things for smartphone apps/games...

no no nO

If they leave them alone and just throw money at Atlus for future projects then hey this can be good. We just don't know much about it yet until something happens...

i dont think so, most of you just know atlus, but index had a own mobile software branch and i think they are meant with "making mobiles games".

Ah fuck.

I don't have a source (for the smartphone game thing) except for a neogaf thread, but the official report says they are interested in pachinko machines featuring Atlus assets :L
This only affects Japan, and it isn't that big of a deal anyway. There are arcade versions of a ton of games and they don't affect anything.

SEGA please give us Mario & Sonic & Senpai at the olympic winter games pls
